I'm so annoyed right now.. moved into a new role and workload is fucked. It's not going well. Management is ignoring it.

Also a massive massive thing has come about from a client I initially spoke with, spoke to a lawyer about (where another colleague didn't bother), it's now turned into possibly a class action, or at least a shit tonne of work for our firm. I'm getting no shout outs or anything for me recognising the potential. Not even from my direct management.

Sorry to hear about the workload, that sucks. Iโ€™m also over here cheering for you, re the other achievement. I think sometimes management feel threatened when someone lower down the tree does something great, so they downplay it. Iโ€™ve seen that happen at my work, at least.

Thanks ๐Ÿ‘Œ my colleague has actually told me a few times that she thinks I intimidate my direct manager because I kinda know my role better than they do, can answer more Qs etc. So that does kinda make sense

You can leave a job in the probation period with like 2 days notice. Feel free to use that if something else comes up because your workplace will do it to you

I'm not on a new probation period or anything, just a different role in the same department - which is actually quite different to what I had been doing. I'm reluctant to pull the pin on the job because finding a new job is stressful and change is hard. if it remains like this for much longer I'll need to start looking though ๐Ÿ˜ž
